Chapter 760 - 754: Wizard Meditation Method
Chaotian Palace!
Atop a cliff, Qin Feng leaned against a pine tree, engrossed in a book he was holding.
He hadn’t left the Chaotian Palace during this period.
Although with his strength, whether infiltrating among the realm’s creatures to gather intelligence or mingling on the battlefield for combat accomplishments, he could achieve significant merits; compared to cooperating with the Divine King Palace, these achievements were rather trivial.
Therefore, he stayed behind, waiting for commands from the two Ancestors.
As for the specific time to contact the Dandelion God, it depended on Elder Liuling’s return.
Although Elder Liuling not only possessed cultivation at the Profound Immortal Realm but also commanded six powerful Spiritual Beasts at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, her combat strength was extraordinary.
However, the deities of this realm were not fools either; those close to the Cultivators’ army were relocating, with many merging forces to retreat collectively to avoid being caught alone and slaughtered by Cultivators deep within their territories.
Some were even more cautious, directly ordering their forces to migrate on their own, and these deities had already moved far to the back lines.
Dealing with wizards was even more challenging.
Not only because Elder Liuling had little understanding of wizards and was unaware of their combat power or peculiar strategies,
but also because wizards, born in a Great World, had inherited witchcraft incomparable to the deities of Medium Worlds; their combat abilities and various techniques were complex, making it difficult for Elder Liuling to capture them alive even if she wanted to.
Luckily, there was only one Truth Wizard in this realm; the rest of the wizards were at best equivalent to a Profound Immortal. Elder Liuling’s strength was not weak among the Profound Immortals, and coupled with six powerful Spiritual Beasts under her command, she was confident in victory even if she encountered a great sixth-level wizard.
This is why the Beimang Ancestor had proactively ordered Elder Liuling to mobilize.
Now, the only concern was if these deities and wizards, seeing Elder Liuling’s formidable strength, chose to flee early, which would require her to expend more effort and time to capture her targets.
Luckily, Qin Feng didn’t mind spending this bit of time, especially since he had things to do!
For instance, interrogating a few little wizards, or learning the wizard text, among others.
Although wizards have their unique pride and stubbornness, combined with exceptionally tenacious spiritual power, making it hard for ordinary torture to make them speak,
that was not a problem!
After all, this was the main base of the Expedition Army!
Even if the major troops of various cultivators were battling far and wide, there were still many experts among those managing logistics!
Qin Feng promptly summoned two Immortals from the Ghost Controlling Sect, who were staying behind, to take direct action.
Cultivators of the Ghost Controlling Sect specialized in dealing with various Ghost Items, and as Fierce Ghosts were akin to Soul Bodies to some extent, they merely needed to apply their methods for dealing with Fierce Ghosts to these little wizards.
Even the Ghost Items from the Netherworld during the Ancient Great Tribulation could not withstand various tortures, let alone these little wizards with merely stronger spiritual power.
Therefore, after the two Immortals from the Ghost Controlling Sect took action personally, it didn’t take long for Qin Feng to obtain the information he wanted and gain significant understanding of wizards.
Although these few little wizards were all born in recent years and had never returned to the Wizard Great World, and their knowledge was mere hearsay from other wizards, it still provided him with a considerable insight into the wizards.
Such as the method and hierarchy of wizard cultivation.
The internal division of wizards also varies, but aside from Body Refining Wizards, all other systems of wizards mainly cultivate spiritual power as their foundation before expanding into various systems.
Body Refining Wizards, as the name suggests, primarily cultivate their physical bodies, seeking powerful physiques and invincible flesh!
In addition, there are extensions into Martial Arts or Knights, as well as Bloodline Wizards.
These extended cultivation methods are all adapted by wizards from strong beings of other worlds.
However, the main mainstream still consists of wizards who cultivate spiritual power.
Such wizards are classified into Elemental Wizards, Mechanical Wizards, Nightmare Wizards, Wisdom Wizards, Combat Wizards, Demon Hunter Wizards, and many others; as for Black Wizards and White Wizards, these are external appellations given to wizards by other beings.
In reality, wizards don’t differentiate internally between good and evil; all beings can be subjected to their experiments, and even they themselves are willing to undergo various modifications. In their view, these do not define morality.
Only those who have experienced wizards from the Void understand their methods and broadly categorize those slightly gentle in their methods as White Wizards and those harsh or utterly ruthless, indifferent to the life or death of other worlds, as Black Wizards!
Beyond this, Qin Feng also learned about the classification of wizard ranks.
From one to nine, each rank has a vast discrepancy, and the higher the rank, the greater the gap.
Below a first-level wizard, there are also non-ranked Wizard Apprentices.
Qin Feng carefully weighed their descriptions and generally figured it out.
The so-called Wizard Apprentices correspond to the Qi Refinement to Foundation Establishment realms among cultivators, a first-level wizard could approximately match a Golden Core Cultivator, a second-level could be comparable to Purple Mansion, and a third-level akin to Primordial Spirit.
Such a crude differentiation method truly left Qin Feng somewhat speechless.
Cultivators meticulously divided the levels below the Immortal Dao, not just for differentiation, but more importantly, to provide a scaling standard for cultivators to gauge their own cultivation levels.
And these wizards were not only ferocious against external enemies, but they were also simple and brute to their own kind. Before strength underwent a qualitative change, one was merely a Wizard Apprentice. Without a basic comprehension of the Truth Law, one remained a first-level wizard. Without a clear path in their wizardry and without comprehension of the Laws to a certain realm, one was a second-level wizard.
However, it got much better from the fourth level upward.
This was because fourth-level wizards were already capable of manipulating the Power of Laws to a great extent, demonstrating formidable war power. Moreover, they had long lifespans, unlike ordinary wizards, which is why those above the fourth level possessed considerable authority.
In Qin Feng’s view, fourth-level wizards were akin to Lower God Spirits or at the realm of True Immortals, fifth-level wizards could rival Heavenly Immortals, and sixth-level Great Wizards could compare with Profound Immortals.
As for seventh-level wizards, it wasn’t that simple anymore. To advance to the seventh level, one first had to comprehend a unique Dao Principle and understand the truths of the world, which is why seventh-level wizards were known as Truth Wizards, existing in the Immortal Realm!
Moreover, each Truth Wizard had a corresponding title, such as the one known in this world as Netherworld Fire!
Each title was also related to their unique Truth Laws!
The eighth level was for Eternal Wizards, and the ninth was revered as the Witch King!
Witch King!
Only a few Witch Kings existed within the Wizard Great World, and whether there were more powerful beings above the ninth-level Witch King, that was unknown.
Legend had it that the Witch Ancestor had reached a realm above the Witch King.
Whether it was true was unknown.
Even whether the Witch Ancestor was still alive was a mystery. The Wizard World had rumors circulating for many thousands of years that the Witch Ancestor had died, but ordinary wizards, unable to access higher levels, did not know whether this message was true or false!
Besides these, Qin Feng also learned the Wizard Text from those wizards, so he had been reading various wizard books in the Chaotian Palace recently.
Particularly from the large collection of books he retrieved from the old wizard Gavin’s room, which greatly broadened his horizons.
Those books contained a wide variety of things, not only about the various oddities, materials, and species in the wizarding world but also descriptions of many worlds.
However, what Qin Feng valued most was the old wizard’s notebook!
Wizard Notes were not merely simple notes; they documented their cultivation processes and various experimental insights, which could also be considered their legacy to some extent!
Wizard Notes themselves were a civilization legacy and wisdom crystallization left by many wizards to their disciples after their deaths!
Unfortunately, due to his limited understanding of wizard culture, Qin Feng had difficulty comprehending many aspects, especially those experiments. Having not experienced them firsthand and not recognizing most of the materials, he naturally did not know the purpose of those experiments.
But no matter, as he read more wizard books, he gradually gained a considerable understanding of some superficial matters.
More importantly, based on the explanations from those Wizard Apprentices and what he saw in the Wizard Notes about cultivation methods, he had already figured out the wizards’ methods of cultivating spiritual power.
Wizards called it the Meditation Technique!
Through various Meditation Techniques, they refined their Soul Bodies, enhancing their spiritual power, and by learning and experimenting, they racked their brains to clarify the principles behind all things’ existence, which in turn was another form of enhancing spiritual power.
Thus, their spiritual power was far more formidable than that of ordinary creatures, allowing them to delicately control various experiments and witchcraft, and to exhibit far beyond ordinary war power.
Qin Feng pondered over the Meditation Techniques given by those Little Wizards, as well as those recorded in the wizard library and Wizard Notes, and after repeatedly asking those Little Wizards, he finally confirmed there was nothing wrong with these Meditation Techniques.
So, with a certain level of understanding, he chose the most potent Meditation Technique recorded in the old wizard’s notes to try and cultivate.
The old wizard was a member of the Wisdom Wizards, who, although not skilled in combat, was extraordinarily wise, adept at deducing various witchcraft and tactics, capable of delicately manipulating various experiments, thus the Meditation Technique of Wisdom Wizards had a very strong effect on enhancing spiritual power.
In fact, the cultivation techniques of the Beast Taming Sect also valued the Divine Soul, enabling them to control their Spiritual Beasts with strong Divine Sense, but different cultivation techniques indeed had different effects, so Qin Feng wanted to give it a try.
When he started cultivating through the Meditation Technique, he clearly felt his Soul Body becoming more condensed and his Divine Sense growing stronger.
Although this change had not yet led to a qualitative transformation because he had been cultivating for only a short time, it already made him very happy.
In previous years, he had obtained the “Jade Bone Great Method” from the White Bone City Lord, and after refining the energy of the Jade Bone, his bones had reached the strength of a Profound Immortal Realm Body Refining Cultivator.
While only the strength of his bones had reached that level, it could invisibly lead to improvements in other areas. Now he also acquired the wizard’s Meditation Technique, and if he could elevate his spiritual power to a corresponding level, it would be possible for him to comprehend the Laws and the truth of the Dao more effectively and ascend to the Profound Immortal Realm at the fastest rate!
At the very least, the blood and energy inside his body had undergone significant changes under the influence of his powerful bones. Although Qin Feng was focusing most of his energy on cultivating the Laws, the rate at which his body’s blood and energy were strengthening was somewhat beyond his expectations. Based on his current progress, in a few years, his physical body was likely to advance first to a level that could contend against Heavenly Immortals!
There was no helping it; this was an advantage exclusive to Body Cultivation. The method, where a part of the body became sufficiently strong to drive improvements in other areas, was quite common within Body Cultivation.
However, to leap over two major realms at once, refining the Origin Power left by a Great Power to elevate one’s bones to a level comparable to Profound Immortals was still very rare.
After discovering the effectiveness of the wizard’s Meditation Technique, Qin Feng began to delve into its intricacies, planning to attempt integrating the wizard’s Meditation Technique into his own cultivation technique!
If successful, he believed his future cultivation speed would surely increase significantly, allowing him to ascend to higher realms even faster!
While he was tirelessly delving into the wizard’s Meditation Technique, Elder Liuling returned.
Since she had returned, she certainly did not come back empty-handed; she had captured two Plant Gods and captivated a fifth-level wizard.
After handing these gods and wizard over to the two ancestors, it wasn’t many days before Qin Feng received a message – the ancestors summoned him to visit the great hall!
